Hey everyone I have the Canadian bell carrier galaxy s3 which is rooted and I had used couple rooms such as Miui which I loved but was very buggy but recently been trying to load up roms and after it completes the install I click reboot nothing happens the screen is black so I have to boot to recovery and restore from backup tried multiple ones and same thing
1 I backed up on clockworkmod
2 performed factory reset, cleared Caches, cleared dalvik
3 installed from zip
Rebooted and nothing am I doing something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated thanks I just wanna run a stable version of the Nexus rom so I can just use it permanently
As far as I'm aware, that's an international ROM and impossible to flash.
The phone is rooted and clockwork mod to but someone told me the bootloader is Prolly not unlocked how do I find out if it's unlocked
I just tried to install the cynogen rom stable version and it said everything completed I rebooted and screened stayed black does anyone have a idea
With an issue like that I would do the following.
1. Wipe everything and I mean EVERYTHING!.
2. Return your phone back to stock/unrooted
3. Root your phone again and install your custom recovery (I like TWRP better as I've had less issue with it)
4. Before you flash whatever ROM, wipe everything again and then install your ROM
If that all doesn't work, I don't know what else will.

Hey, for some reason I just started having huge problems with clockworkmod recovery within the last few hours. I've had my nexus for a month just about and have been unlocked, rooted , and flashing roms since day one ( I've been flashing my phones for about two years now, just so you know I'm not a noob) and before tonight haven't had one issue. I was running aokp build 13 , and decided to check out the progress on cm9 kang. So I flashed it with no problem , rebooted, set up the rom, and then I went to flash Lean kernel 1.3.0 ( which should work for all 4.0.3 roms) and I ended up getting stuck at the "Google" boot screen, so I booted back into recovery and figured I would just restore my backup of aokp 13.... so I wiped data, cache, and dalvik and proceeded with the restore. The restore got to restoring data , and I got an error saying "data cannot be restored" or something like that. So I figured it was a fluke of some kind , so I tried again... still the same thing. So I tried another one of my backups , still the same thing . I can't figure out why none of my backups will install. So I had to download the stock recovery image and run the bat file just to get the phone working again , and everything was fine . I was back on android 4.0.1 and unrooted. So I rooted again and flashed recovery all over. Made a backup of the stock rom, and proceeded to flash aokp again and the install went smooth, but now any ics gapps I use end up in market force closes, so I figured " I don't feel like dealing with this again lol" , so I booted into recovery and attempted to restore my backup of the stock rom..... again it failed.....
I am beyond confused now what is going on with my recovery, especially since I started fresh a couple hours ago. If anyone has any idea what is going on or if anyone has some input it would be much appreciated. I'm going crazy over here
Edit: I also forgot to add that it seems recovery isn't wiping everything fully. As in I'll wipe data, cache , and dalvik , then install the same rom I was using ( the actual update.zip) , and everything will still be the same when I reboot , meaning all my apps are still there and my docks are still set up the same way like it wasn't wiped at all. Very weird , I've never seen that happen before.

I am having lot of trouble installing Rom on my Epic 4g touch. I am not sure where I am doing wrong.
Here are the steps i followed to install a new rom
1) Installed SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe (EL29)
2)E4gtAuto Root options C and L (CWM+ Rouge)
3)Calkulins format all * also did cwm wipe
-- Now my phone is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S screen but I am able to go to download mode and/ cwm
4)Copied Calkulin\'s_E4GT_ROM_v2.8.1.zip
--When i reboot it My phone is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S 2 screen.
What ever ROM I install it just gets stuck Samsung galaxy S2 Screen
Rom's I tried
1)Calkulin
2) Unamed Rom
3)ICS leaked Rom.
Guys I really appreciate your help.
Re download the ROM and this time wipe without using the format all zip, install the ROM. If it still wont work, reinstall the recovery through Odin, that may be your problem.
1 wipe data, system, cache
2 install .zip (ROM) from sd
3 reboot.
Sounds like from your post your skipping step 2
Am i still missing something
1) Restored to pre rooted stock based on EL29 rom
2)Flashed Rouge recovery using ODIN (difference i see between auto root and ODIN based flash is I see yellow triangle)
3)Downloaded Unnamed Rom
4)Wipe (Factory reset, System,Cache)
5)Install zip from SD card(external card)
Again it stucks on Samsung Galaxy S2 screen with yellow triangle.
Thanks for your help.
update: I am able to flash Calkulin but not any other ROM
Try wiping cache and data after the new ROM install. So wipe, install, wipe, reboot.

A few weeks ago I installed a blackjelly rom on my telus s3, and then proceeded to install codenameandroid. It worked great for a while but then I decided to see if I could unroot my phone and install stock rom. I did this using Odin and it worked great as well with no issues. My problem now is I am trying to install roms again and whenever I do so, after the installation and reboot I get stuck in the Samsung Galaxy loading screen. I have left it there for 5 minutes with no change. I even tried flashing the blackjelly rom the same way I did the first and nothing is changing. Lastly, when I try to flash Hellfire, i always get the message status 7. I have wiped everything, formated /system, and wiped all caches. Any suggestions?
-I am using latest CWM.
-It is rooted with superuser
All help will be appreciated.
if stuck at the samsung screen, pull battery, reboot recovery,wipe cache, wipe dalvik, maybe even fix permissions, reboot

^ what he said or try using Kies to back to stock and start from there. Guide is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984717
Short Questions: when I flash any ROM, besides official AOKP, my phone goes into bootloop. I'm using CWM. I do a factory reset/cache etc. then flash the new ROM, i.e. stock koodo, but they all just boot loop.
Long Story: I used to have a samsung galaxy ace, and I followed the same persedure, with CWM, and it always worked. I used CWM on my tablet, but the other touch recover has given me problems and never really worked correctly, it wouldn't even install properly. I prefer CWM. From searching around, there is some super wiper, or infamus whiper that clean the phone properly from the recover before flashing. I'm not sure if we're supose to use that before I flash a new ROM, maybe that's why its bootlooping?
What do you do before you flash a ROM? I know the ROM OP have instructions, but they end in a bootloop too.
I believe you have to be more specific if you want to get help, like the version of CWM, ROM you are trying to install and steps you are taking to insall the ROM.
Click mounts & storage, format system/data, yes. Then do all your other wiping like data and caches. Then flash ROM followed by gapps.

You are not formatting system before installing a different base(ROM).
If you format system, data, cache, and delvik you should be good to go.
I have a T-Mobile SGH-T989 (Galaxy S2), and for a while I had an ICS darkside ROM on it with CWM 5.0.2.4. This evening, though, I decided to upgrade to an Android KitKat ROM (Beanstalk). I first upgraded CWM to the latest version, and then flashed the ROM. Everything seems to have flashed correctly, and I get the Beanstalk splashscreen, but it never seems to go any further than that. It's hung (for around 30mins) on the Beanstalk splash screen with the beanstalk and rain.
When I go into CWM, I can re-flash just fine, but when I try to do a full wipe or a cache wipe, it also gets hung (I eventually rebooted after about a 10 minute cache wipe attempt). It says that it can't open /cache/recovery/last_install, and that the cache file system is read-only. I also attempted to use the super wipe/cache wipe tools here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235141&nocache=1 but they also hung.
I'm wondering what the best course of action is at this point? I have a full backup, but since it was made with the previous version of CWM, it also appears to not be working.
Thanks,
~j

When all fails always use ODIN, if you know what you're doing. IDK which ROMs here are flashable via ODIN but use any you can find in the dev section in which somebody has uploaded a flashable .tar version (usually it will be rooted stock). If that doesn't save you, you have big trouble.
Also you should still be able to restore backups between different CWM versions, so yeah there is potentially something wrong with your phone.
